Episode Description
In the movie, The Matrix, there is a scene where the character realizes he is caught in an illusion. My guest on the podcast this week is Dustin Dunbar, who had his own matrix moment when he had an awakening dream that showed him the damage that alcohol was creating in his own life.
Dustin Dunbar grew up poor in Midwest America with an abusive, alcohol-addicted father and grandfather, and vowed to never be like them. And yet, like many of us, he found himself using alcohol to fit in, to hang with the guys and to make the deals on the golf course. When Dustin became alcohol-free four years ago, he knew he wanted to help other men overcome the lies that alcohol told him.
Here are some of the highlights from our conversation:
- Why Dustin doesn't use the word 'sober'
- How he talks to his children about alcohol
- Dustin calls out George Clooney; Teri calls out Snoop Dog.
- The book that changed his life
